South African rand steady ahead of economic data
The South African rand was little changed on Monday as traders looked to this week’s local data releases for further clues on the health of Africa’s biggest economy.
This year sees the introduction of the first Pan-African award category: the Merchants on Long Pan-African Artisanal Fashion Award. The awards recognise designers working at the intersection of style, sustainability, and social impact.
“The Twyg Sustainable Fashion Awards honour the designers, brands and creatives who are using fashion as a tool for environmental and social change,” says Jackie May, founder of Twyg.
“We invite everyone to help us spotlight those working towards a fairer, slower, and more sustainable fashion system.”
